Grand Sierra Resort officials presented their request for funding from the city of Reno for the new arena project at Wednesday’s City Council meeting.
The Reno City Council voted to move forward with sending that project to the next step — which will get a third-party review and more information.
There is no deal on the table and no approval yet, but with this vote, the city approved its staff to continue talking with Grand Sierra Resort to explore how this project will affect the city.
